Calcul Québec

Calcul Québec is an umbrella organization composed of Québec Universities brought together by advanced research computing (ARC). These member Universities, committed to better serve the needs of the research community through collaboration, pooled together their human and material ARC resources under the Calcul Québec banner. To meet the demands of today’s researchers, Calcul Québec relies on three main components:

Data centers hosting supercomputers at the leading edge of technology

Teams of highly qualified advanced research computing specialists

The excellence and expertise of Québec researchers in all spheres of knowledge

Canada Research Chair on the Transformations of Scholarly Communication

The goal of the Canada Research Chair on the Transformations of Scholarly Communication is to increase understanding of how knowledge is currently being disseminated by analyzing the characteristics of papers written by academic researchers.

Canada Research Chair in Digital Textualities

We are now living in a digital world where everything is writing and textualities. We derive our identity from writing – profiles, data entered into the databases, lines of code -, every one of our actions is based in some way upon writing – from clicking to buying a book or planning a trip -, the objects surrounding us are the result of a writing process. The Canada Research Chair in Digital Textualities brings a new interpretation and insight to the writing that has become part of our world. This site provides information about all the projects carried out by the Chair, member publications and the theoretical concepts used in research.

CoKo Foundation

The Collaborative Knowledge Foundation’s mission is to evolve how scholarship is created, produced and reported. CKF is building open source solutions in scholarly knowledge production that foster collaboration, integrity and speed.

Huma-Num

Huma-Num is a Very Large Facility which aims to facilitate the digital turn in humanities and social sciences.
It organises a collective dialogue with communities via consortia accredited by Huma-Num and provides a technological infrastructure on a national and European scale based on a vast network of partners and operators.

INKE

Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) is a collaborative group of researchers and graduate research assistants working with other organizations and partners to explore the digital humanities, electronic scholarly communication, and the affordances of electronic text.

Observatoire des sciences et de la technologie

L’Observatoire des sciences et des technologies (OST) is an organization devoted to the measurement of science, technology and innovation (STI). Since its inception in 1997, the OST has earned an enviable reputation in the field of STI measurement. This achievement is based on two complementary types of activity.

Public Knowledge Project
